A new West Main Street gas station and paperwork details moving on a new Route 132 store has Stop & Shop busy with projects on different sides of Hyannis.

Suzi Robinson of Stop & Shop’s Public & Community Relations said in an e-mail exchange that the aim is for the new supermarket to be open before next Labor Day.

On West Main Street the signs branding the former mobile/Sav On gas station as Stop & Shop went up this week. The multi-pump station has been fully renovated and according to the town’s regulatory services division, plans to be open Wednesday.

The new Stop & Shop supermarket on Route 132 has been more than 11 years in the making. While a legal hurdle remains regarding the back access, what could be considered finishing details on the permitting are falling into place.

The reconfiguration of Route 132 at Bearse’s Way, adding a right-hand turning lane and other signal improvements, has been approved by MassDOT and recorded at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds.

National Grid and other utilities have been marking off the road to identify their underground facilities in the past week.

The remaining issue is the alignment of the planned extension of Bearse’s Way between Route 132 and Attucks Way and the entrance to the BJ’s Wholesale Club. That plan, which includes a new signalized intersection, remains in dispute in Land Court. Last year, Atlantis Iyannough Realty, LLC, which is developing the property for Stop & Shop, was approved for an alternate access configuration on Attucks Way should the parties not come to agreement.

On another front, an application to demolish the former E&B Marine building has been submitted to the Barnstable Building Division. That is one of two remaining building the will be torn down to make way for the new Stop & Shop. The other is the Victory Chapel Building behind the Liberty Square Plaza, home of Dunkin Donuts and the AT&T Store.

A new building for Victory Chapel is well under construction on Perseverance Way, compliments of the church’s agreement with Altantis. In July, Atlantis Iyannough Realty LLC and Victory Chapel recorded a mortgage agreement executing the land purchase agreement originally reached in 2003.
